QPR boss Harry Redknapp could return to former club Tottenham with a double loan swoop for midfielder Tom Carroll and defender Benoit Assou-Ekotto.

Tom Carroll and Benoit Assoi-Ekotto is wanted at QPR by Harry Redknapp

Left-back Assou-Ekotto is out of favour at Tottenham under Andre Villas-Boas and is yet to feature in any of the club's games so far this season.

And young playmaker Carroll has seen his first-team opportunities diminish following the £100million spending spree that has brought midfielders Christian Eriksen, Erik Lamela, Etienne Capoue and Paulinho to White Hart Lane.

Former Spurs boss Redknapp now wants to be reunited with the pair as he aims to take his new club QPR back in to the Premier League.

He faces stiff competition for Carroll, though, as two top-flight clubs are understood to be interested in taking the England Under-21 international on loan.

Redknapp has also been linked with a move for Tottenham striker Emmanuel Adebayor, but it is understood that the west London club have not made a bid for the Togo striker due to his huge wages.
